If, and I assume you are, your DSM version is higher than 6.0-7275, it should show up. If not, this would be a bug in the repo software. I know there are a few of them in there and therefore looking for an alternative.For now you can download the package and install it manually. Make sure to set the Trust Level to 'any publisher' in the package center settings.Greetings,Martin

I am completely new to NAS (416play), have been running my LMS over desktop computers for years.

What are the main differences between the official package (7.7.6) and the ones described here?

7.7.6 has been a complete nightmare, scanning of all albums (.wav - .cue, about 6'000 albums) takes more than half a day, and the software is slow and unresponsive. On my Mac mini completely re-scanning the files took less than 10 minutes. I'm starting to think it was a mistake to have bought the NAS.

About 3 years of bug fixing and improving LMS, adding features ...

You have a great nas. Better totally remove the current 7.7.6 installation and install LmsUpdate. I wouldn't start with LmsRepack if I were you.
There is a link in my sig pointing at LmsUpdates. Just follow the instructions in the first post of that thread. Its straight forward!

There is another option for you since you have an x86_64 based nas. You can add the repository to your package center and see if LmsRepack is listed in the community tab. This is not always the case however. If it does install from there, but make sure the other installation of LMS is stopped or removed!

Also, make sure you have set the trust level in package center to 'all publishers'! Otherwise you will be prompted with a 'corrupted package' message.

Thanks so much Martin. I have already added the repo as described here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...l=1#post880069. However, I see nothing on the Community tab ("All packages have been installed".) Would I have to stop or deinstall the current version of LMS for Repack to show up?

A more general question, how long would it approximately take to completely scan ("clear library and rescan everything") a collection of a couple thousand albums (.wav - .cue) on a device like mine? It is taking about 14 hours, which seems insane to me. Is this only so slow the first time? On the Mac I often rescanned everything (< 10 minutes), because searching only for changed files produced some undesirable results mainly with the album artwork if I remember correctly. Would the Raid level, file system of the drives etc. have a significant effect on this speed?
